I'm ecstatic that Darkplace won, but please be sure to write it as one word. Only that spelling is smooth, like ice.

Quick post since I'm being a lazy rear end in a top hat:

Always seal: +2 Speed, +10% prot.
Seal if you want but not necessary: +crit, +hp, -Stress, Attack+ if Torch @ 75%
Dont even bother: Location-specific traits, race-specific traits
The one exception: Occultist with Eldritch Hater/Slayer

Always remove: Kleptomania, -Virtue %, -speed, -acc, -dodge, -death blow resist
Annoying but not necessary to remove: -hp, -crit, Addicted to [x]
Don't even bother: Location/race specific traits
Keep these bad behaviors: Obsession with curios barring hylomania. Basically an auto-examine, rarely 100% fucks you over and takes a bad trait out of the cycle

Priority diseases to remove: Black/Red Plague, Tetanus, Rabies, Tapeworm, Lethargy, The Ague

Rabies

Used to be serviceable until they quite recently doubled the acc penalty[-5 to -10], so you would need to wear double accessories to offset that penalty. Not worth taking now imo.

Just take Dismas' head.

I've been using this guide which works well enough. The author tends to over-emphasize defensive trinkets like bandages in the cove or ruins but overall it works well enough.

On that note I used to think that bandages in the cove are worthless. Then I had a short mission with 6! uca crushers who didn't use anything but bleed attacks.

I will never insult bandages again.

Grievances are duly noted. Once the two-episode backlog is over, old data will return.

Was not expected it to go that way.

New Update - Episode 22: Casualties

Welp. Chitlin's bloodlust is finally sated.

Also before I forget, since we're on the path to the Crew here's a neat thing that showed up yesterday on the Darkest Dungeon twitter feed

That's what always bothered me about the cart in the Warrens. The message literally says "You stumble on a cart of human remains". The appropriate response to this is apparently to sprinkle herbs on them, et voila! "Some of the meat becomes edible!" Why are human remains considered food?!
I loved the Risk Legacy LP but since I mostly play board games with about 10-20 members of the local boardgaming group, the player composition is hardly ever the same. So, in my case legacy games or co-op campaigns usually go unplayed. Sure, some people are interested in playing these types of games, but they never actually take action to organize anything. At best, the first scenario gets played 2-3 times because there's always someone new in the group.

I can see why these game types are great if you play with the same 4-6 people every time though. Although my experience with co-op games has been mixed at best.
Imperial Assault was a great experience, but the traditional fantasy themed co-op board games were not. They look like the tabletop rpgs I know and love, but they pale in comparison.
As a game because they feel like a cheap knock-off to me. Also because the board gamers I have played with seem to have the mindset of winning at all costs. I can't quite name what it is exactly but moves take a long time, people seem to be more focused on figuring out the perfect move. Some even go as far as to make a move and then take it back when they see something better or notice that their chosen move has unpleasant consequences. Just go with your gut, make a move and roll with the results, drat it!

TL;DR
Ramblings of a grumpy goon.
